Does anyone know when I should find out if
it is twins or not? Not onyl that has
anyone had any issues during pregnancy? I
am suffering alot of them between my
doctor and work. I have been breaking out
in rashes and my doc knows this but has
not made any effort to see me, I keep
calling about it and because I am always
very tired and I all I want to do is
sleep. I have also been very dizzy and
weak. If I dont eat exactly when I get
hungry which is impossible at work, I
started shaking, getting lighheaded, and
feel like I am going to faint. I hacvent
had any tests ran on me from this doctor.
I complained about a yeast infection to
her, and she said in a month she will
check it out. I mentioned depression, she
didnt seem to care. So yes I am trying to
see someone else. I am 12 wks now I think.
Now with work, they know Im pregnant and
still are having me lift and reach all of
the stuff before I was pregnant. I do all
the work by myself pretty much because my
manager and I work opposite shifts. I dont
really want to get into the whole story,
but I dont know what to do about working.

I've never had twins but it seems like
maybe they could see when you have your
first ultrasound? Not sure though.. I was
also very tired at the beginning of my
pregnancy..Finally arorund 15-16 weeks I
started getting my enery back. As for
getting dizzy & weak, I also had that.
I worked at a gas station for a while
while I was pregnant & had to be there
pretty early in the morning..I just made
it a point to get there a little earlier
although it killed me getting out of bed
that early.. So I could eat. Just make
sure you are eating something & I'm
sure the dizziness & weakness should
stop. You might be anemic as well.. Or
possibly have gestational diabetes
(they'll check you for that later)....

maybe .i'm not really understanding what
twins have to do with any of this? but all
the things you listed are normal in
pregnancy. i was weak & dizzy, also..
i'd wake up from a great night's sleep
feeling like i had gotten no sleep at all.
turns out i was anemic. tell your doctor
you think you might be. they'll do a blood
test, & if you are, they'll give you
iron supplements. as far as eating when
you're hungry, can't you carry crackers or
granola bars around when you're at work?
& .how heavy are the things you're
lifting? it's not a big deal if it's
pretty light stuff. but if we're talking
like 40 or 50lbs.. then that's not good.
if you don't feel comfortable doing it,
then you need to talk to your boss. this
is the well-being of your child we're
talking about & nothing should stop
you from doing whatever it takes so you
feel comfortable with your work. your boss
should understand that. pregnant women
have rights. if they are violated, it's
considered illegal.

I asked about twins because my hubbys mom
scared me and said that they run in the
family. And I have been eating and eating.
I hae never ate so much in my entire life.
I think I am anemic, but I cant do
anything about it right now. I have to
wait until I can transfer doctors. Then I
have to make an appointment with the new
one. Yeah I do not get to sit at all at my
job. I amm constantly lifting, and right
now our store is about to have inventory,
so I have been doing alot more than usual.
Then after inventory we are going through
remodel, so I have to help move all of the
stuff the the other side of the store in a
month. I get to the point at work where I
feel like I cant even walk at the end of
the night. I dont get to drink too much
water. They wont let me snack on stuff. So
I have to wait out the dizziness until I
am able to eat.

twins have nothing to do with the father
or his side of the family. identical twins
are a completely random thing and
fraternal twins run on the mother's side.

if you aren't being treated fairly at work
& you probably need to lay down the
law or it'll never get better. if they
don't want to listen to you, you need to
find another job. you're pregnant &
your baby is the most important thing
right now.

Why would you have to wait to transfer to
a new doctor? That seems absurd to me. You
want a new doctor - you call the new
doctor and make an appointment. It
shouldn't be that hard. And if it is an
insurance issue, then make a point to take
care of it. Work on it a little every day
until you are taken care of.
Get a note from your doctor (your new one,
your old one. Doesn't matter) that says
you cannot lift anything over 40 lbs. due
to pregnancy. Employers don't always like
this, but they have to do it.
As far as the yeast infection goes, if you
know it is a yeast infection do not wait
around for your doctor to check it out. Go
get some medication from the drugstore!
Yeast infections can be brutal - you
shouldn't suffer needlessly when there are
tons of medications for it readily
available to you.

Go to a different doctor. If you had all
those complaints and they wanted to wait
for one month to see you, I would be
pretty upset.
Having rashes during pregnancy is concern.
It may not be great concern but I know
doctors usually like to see you ASAP if
you have a newly developed rash during
pregnancy.
I had a yeast infection during this
pregnancy and was told to treat it via
over the counter medication. Having a
prolonged yeast infection is not good for
you or the baby.
The other symptoms are not fun but are
pretty common during pregnancy.
